My new daffodils that bloomed for the first time are:
1. Boobook 2 Y-YYO[ Large-Cupped]
Boobook is a lovely mid bloomer but I wish the petals would align more neatly.
2. (maybe) Greg's Favourite 1 Y-Y[ Trumpet Long-Cupped ]
Greg's Favourite is listed as a mid bloomer but mine bloomed very early. I need to confirm if the correct daffodil was sent to me.
It is similar to Welcome but has a longer, narrower and less flared trumpet. Welcome is in the daffodil in the foreground.
3. Serendipity Lace 4 W-P[ Double ]
This daffodil was a standout for me. It was lemon and orange when it opened and matured to a more pinky orange.
4. NoID.
This late blooming daffodil was very pretty. The trumpet opened lemon and matured to pink except for the yellow rim. The closest match I can find is Salome 2 W-PPY[ Large-Cupped ].
5. NoID
This NoID bloomed very early. I love the flared trumpet. It might be a daffodil called Sunstruck 2 Y-O[ Large-Cupped] in the Hancocks brochure which is different to the Sunstruck daffodils in daffseek.
The last cross I made in 2015 was between Silver Streak and Dark Passion. This time I used Silver Streak as the pod parent
has weak stems :(
The top buds bloomed sideways and close together
bloomed low in the foliage
The underside of the falls is mostly white. 
Have you ever wondered what happens if you cross a tall bearded iris with an intermediate? Back in 2015 I crossed Devil May Care with Silver Streak hoping to create a purple broken pattern iris.
I am a year behind on updating this blog and I have a lot to catch up on.
Last year (2020) some of my seedlings from crosses I made in 2015 bloomed for the first time. I am a novice hybridizer and these are the first crosses I made after my initial trial run a couple years earlier where I just crossed the last 2 hybrids that bloomed. There is nothing special among them. I am just sharing some photos for anyone who is interested in seeing some examples of what blooms are created from various parents.
The first cross I made was Ibiza x Silver Streak.
has one white streak on one bloom only
has flowers of varying colours on one stem. This is what these blooms looked like the first day they opened. I have been expecting the darker one to fade but 3 days on it still looks the same. 
This is the reddest seedling
bloomed last year
One bloom only low in the foliage
with Ibiza 12. One bloom on Ibiza 19 went flat
The falls have a hint of beige 
Black Suited
Codicil bloomed one stalk at a time. It is planted with Colours of the Wind (Sirocco Mist in the background)
Ring Around Rosie
This is the end of my bloom season. My aggies and pokers are starting to bloom and I have buds on my daylilies.
